Eggless whole wheat strawberry banana oat muffins

Say hello to these Eggless whole wheat strawberry banana oat muffins made without processed flour/ maida , no processed sugar and are butter free . These healthier muffins are Vegan too . 

My mornings are super busy and I always prefer grab and go breakfast. Something that is guilt free and healthier of course . I love muffins especially home-made. It makes a great after school snack for kids too.  Unlike bakery muffins these Eggless strawberry banana oats muffins are not sugar laden . The sweetness comes from bananas , raisins , fruity spurts of strawberries and very little raw sugar. These muffins are dairy free too , however you can refer to my recipe notes if you want to go all dairy. And the moistness comes from oil and bananas.

Look at this small boomerang video that shows how spongy these muffins are 🙂

I love how these muffins are made with simple clean ingredients found at home and can be frozen for busy day snacking. 

How to store these muffins  –

As these muffins have fruits in them , they need to be refrigerated. Unlike the buttery ones, the texture of these muffins is super soft and not tough or dry even after refrigerating . We love eating them chilled straight out of the fridge. 

These banana oat muffins will stay well up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge and up to 2 months in the freezer. Just wrap individual muffins in cling wrap and place in a airtight container . Thaw desired muffins for 20 – 30 minutes at room temperature before consuming. Do not re freeze thawed muffins. 

Strawberries are in abundance this season so I have used them. You can sub them with mangoes or apples too. 

These muffins make a quick breakfast or a snack. These healthier banana oat muffins are kid friendly too. It makes a great addition to their lunch box or a healthy treat after school . 

Given below is the recipe followed by important notes and substitution.

Notes

Size of banana varies so does the sweetness. Add additional liquid if necessary .
To be precise banana puree without liquid added is ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon .
These muffins aren’t overly sweet so adjust sweetness to your taste.
Substitute flaxseed meal with thick yogurt.
Substitute strawberries with chopped mangoes or apples.
You may add nuts too.
Toppings are coated with flour to avoid sinking to the bottom .
Substitute almond meal with equal amount of oat flour.
Oats flour is nothing but ground oats . Just pulse rolled oats in the blender until flour like.
I have used cupcake pan which are smaller than muffin pans.
It will yield 13-14 standard size cupcakes or 8 muffins.

I have used SILK unsweetened almond milk

Sujata Sharbati wheat flour 

Bob’s Red Mill’s finely grounded almond meal.

Bob’s Red  Mill’s flax seed meal

Chosen Food’s Avocado oil.
